Today, Rotarians will March for Reclaim the Night. We stand against any form of violence in this world. Change starts with you. Create an impact.

Information from Sora:

Reclaim the Night is a global movement that stands against violence, harassment and intimidation, particularly violence against women.

Through public marches and community gatherings, it symbolises the right of everyone to feel safe in their homes, relationships and public spaces, without fear or the threat of violence.

Reclaim the Night is important because it brings these issues into the open, challenges attitudes and behaviours that enable violence, supports victim-survivors, and encourages communities to take collective responsibility for creating a safer and more respectful future.

Join us for Reclaim the Night 2026

➡️ Friday 30 October 2026
🕔 March leaves at 5pm from the Tamworth Police Station to Bicentennial Park
👣 Everyone is welcome
🗣️ Speeches and BBQ to follow

Why are we supporting The Beacon Truck - Tamworth

More Than a Meal
The Beacon Truck is about more than food — it’s about human connection.

Our volunteers take the time to listen and, where appropriate, provide warm referrals to local community services. Whether someone is:
🟠 Experiencing domestic or family violence
🟠 Facing homelessness or housing insecurity
🟠 Needing mental health support
🟠 Looking for disability advocacy or community assistance
🟠 We can help point people in the right direction, based on what they feel comfortable sharing. All conversations are voluntary, respectful, and person-led.

A Non-Judgemental Space
The Beacon Truck is grounded in the belief that everyone deserves kindness and support without judgement.

There are:
🟣 No labels
🟣 No pressure
🟣 No assumptions
🟣 Just a welcoming space where people are treated with dignity.

Community Impact
In a short amount of time, the Beacon Truck has become a trusted and familiar presence in the community by:
🟢 Supporting people during difficult periods of their lives
🟢 Reducing social isolation
🟢 Strengthening local connections and partnerships
🟢 Demonstrating the power of community-led care
🟢 Its success reflects the generosity of donors, the commitment of volunteers, and the strength of the Tamworth community.

Our youngest member gave us his ‘My Life So Far’, talk this morning and didn’t he do well? Marcus from an early age travelled extensively with his family and now has the travel bug! At School he was School Captain in both year 6 and 12. He went to Macquarie University. Swimming and Water Polo he excelled at. It was at National Level he qualified for the @ 2022 Olympic Trials! He helps support Swimmers at a High Level through the YAP program, ‘Beyond the Black’. He even has time for a hobby, which is Woodwork. He brought along 2 kitchen chopping boards for us to see.
Marcus was thanked for his talk by our Club Secretary Mitch.
